Don't have any info on the hiring, a new -100 is coming on line rumors of more possible in the future. We always seem to be understaffed and have heard they will be having classes in 2006.
There's a lot of hard feelings right now as the company doesn't seem to want to give the pilots a reasonable contract. The old one expired about 3 years ago and Teamsters local 747 is an impotent union.

Kalitta Air operates the most modern Classic Fleet in the world.
The aircraft whether they are the -100 or -200, are very well maintained and have been upgraded to some of the latest technology money can buy at the present time.
Mr. Kalitta continues to put more and more money into his fleet. One of the upgrades he did, which cost at least $500,000 per aircraft, was to equip the entire fleet with the CMA-900 FMS/GPS system. It's a beautiful system.
Kalitta Air now has all the tooling to do in-house overhauls on the PW JT-9's. The engine problems we had before are becoming less and less now that all of the work is being done by our own shop.
Soon the construction of the new Kalitta Air Training Center will be completed and we will have one the nicest B747 Classic Simulators in the world too, equiped with the latest modifications include the installation of the CMA-900 FMS system. The building will house the entire training department and will have two simulator bays.
Mr. Kalitta continues to add more planes to his growing fleet. There are at least 2 upgrade classes planned for 2006, with 10 in each class and continued First Officer and Flight Engineer hiring.
Kalitta Air is a great place to work and things just keep getting better.

CWI, I hope your last response was spot-on and not an attempt at sarcasm. I've also heard good things and would love to be a part of it. I'm thinking that the delivery of the "new -100" is what sparked the rumor of hiring next month. Suppose I'll send an updated resume just incase...
is the new -100 an old UPS bird?

A/C n719ck s/n 20923 is a former JAL pax bird that UPS used as a freighter after cargo conversion around 1990.
As far as a fine place to work its an opinion shared by some, not me. The pilots are still working under a contract that expired 3 years ago and management keeps delaying a new one. Connie doesn't like the recently negtioted t/a for some reason. Its not like we're getting a raise or anything.

I spoke with the training department today and the word is no new hire classes until March. Interviewing in Febuary. Although, this is subject to change.
Send resumes to [email protected] it will be forwarded to the Chief Pilot.
